f.  Connect the water supply line to the “water in” connection and 

the  discharge  water  line  (drain)  to  the  “water  out”  connection. 
The supply water line must be capable of delivering up to 4gpm 
and should be at least 1/2” I.D. (inside diameter). The discharge 
water  line  must  be  at  least  ¾”  I.D.  (inside  diameter)  to  handle 
the  discharge  water  volume.    Both  supply  and  discharge  lines 
should  terminate  at  the  Well-Connect  with  flexible  hose  (See 
Figure  2)  to  facilitate  movement  of the Well-Connect should it 
become  necessary  (service,  maintenance,  wall  access  etc.). 
Rubber  hoses  are  not  recommended  because  they  may 
deteriorate,  leak  or  burst  over  time.  Both  hoses  should  be 
reinforced nylon or braided stainless steel pressure rated hoses, 
which are available in most home improvement stores.

g.  When connecting fittings and/or tightening the two water hoses, 

be  sure  to  use  a  backup  wrench  to  secure  the  copper  fittings 
protruding  out  of  the  Well-Connect.    Allowing  them  to  turn,
